Vulcain Brings Summer Colour to the Skindiver Nautique GMT

Vulcain’s Skindiver Nautique GMT has always had the bones of a practical travel watch, but the latest trio gives it a brighter personality.

The new pink, turquoise blue and green editions keep the same compact steel case and office-style GMT movement, adding colour to a model that previously leaned on more traditional dial tones.

It’s a small but effective shift for a vintage-leaning diver that already sits in a sweet spot for size, water resistance and everyday wearability.

At a glance

Colour gives the GMT a looser character

The Skindiver Nautique GMT has been offered in restrained black, white and blue, with a purple edition later opening the door to something less predictable.

These three new dials push that idea further, bringing the GMT model closer in spirit to the more playful three-hand Skindiver Nautique watches.

The turquoise blue version is the brightest of the group, with a tropical feel that suits the watch’s dive-watch architecture.

Pink softens the tool-watch formula without making the design feel decorative, while green is the deepest and most subdued of the trio.

All three dials keep the established layout, with large luminous markers, broad faceted baton hands, a framed date window at 3 o’clock and a red-outlined arrow tip on the GMT hand.

A compact skindiver case with proper water resistance

The appeal of the Skindiver Nautique GMT is still rooted in its proportions.

At 38.3mm wide and 12.2mm thick, the vertically brushed 316L stainless-steel case has the compact profile many vintage-inspired dive watches aim for but don’t always achieve.

The case uses slim lugs, an unprotected screw-down crown and a double-curved sapphire crystal, details that reinforce the old-school skindiver silhouette.

A bidirectional black ceramic bezel carries a white 24-hour scale, allowing it to work visually and functionally with the GMT display rather than acting as a conventional dive-time bezel.

Despite the brighter dials, this remains a capable water watch, with a 200-metre rating and a solid steel caseback.

The Soprod C125 keeps it travel-ready

Inside is the automatic Soprod C125, a GMT calibre positioned as an alternative to familiar movements such as the ETA 2893 and Sellita SW330.

It runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour, uses 25 jewels and delivers a 42-hour power reserve.

The independent 24-hour GMT hand makes this an office-style GMT, meaning the additional hand is adjusted separately rather than the local hour hand jumping in one-hour increments.

For many owners, that setup will still be more than useful enough for tracking a second time zone from home, at work or while travelling.

Vulcain offers the new models on a vintage-style steel bracelet, a beads-of-rice bracelet or a black rubber strap with a pin buckle.

Details & Specifications

The new Skindiver Nautique GMT colours don’t change the formula, and that’s largely the point.

Vulcain has taken a compact, water-ready GMT with a convincing vintage profile and given collectors three more expressive ways to wear it, without compromising the practical details that made the watch appealing in the first place.
